Getting to know your camera better
• Panning along the camera central axis reduces picture misalignment. When you shoot close subjects,
panning along the axis of the tip of the lens gives good results.
• In [COMBINE IN CAMERA1] mode, the camera automatically detects its own position except for the
following cases (In such cases, use [COMBINE IN CAMERA 2] or [COMBINE IN PC].):
• when panning the camera in a quick or unsteadily manner.
• when shooting a low contrast subject (blue sky, etc.).
• when shooting a moving subject framed in full screen.
• when panning the camera with no images on-screen.
• When [SHADOW ADJ. ON] is selected, the subject’s face appears brighter even against
backlight and the color of the background is enhanced in the picture. This function can also
be used to shoot a subject inside a home or building from outside.

There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.
Recording pictures to the internal memory
• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still pictures
reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then
erase the pictures from the internal memory.
Using a card (optional)
• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you
can download the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card
or use a new card.
• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera.
Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
